Ohio's plants that work with Plan It Packaging span four industries across six cities. Food and beverage producers make up the largest group, running lines in Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cleveland, while a household products manufacturer, a bakery, and a confectionery maker cover the rest of the mix in Akron, Dayton, and Toledo. No single industry dominates the way food and beverage does in most other states we cover, which is part of why the equipment list here stays broader than a one-size answer.
Each of those categories tends to call for different equipment. Food and beverage lines typically run VFFS baggers or flow wrappers ahead of a case packer. A household products plant is more likely to need case packing and palletizing, since the item itself often arrives at packaging already formed and sealed. Baked goods usually call for flow wrapping built around a delicate shape, and confectionery often adds a multihead weigher or checkweigher for small, lightweight units.
No matter the category, an Ohio project opens with a free conversation about the current setup before any equipment gets specified for the floor. Machines get proven out here first, and once installed, our team walks the operators through running it and stays close afterward for anything the line needs going forward.
